Gene Simmons "Looking Forward to the Death of Rap," Talib Kweli "Looking Forward to the Death of Gene Simmons"

Simmons says rap will go away "next year, 10 years from now, at some point."

Kiss' Gene Simmons recently gave an interview with Rolling Stonewhere he said, "I am looking forward to the death of rap. ... Rap will die." Talib Kweli responded, tweeting, "Would it be unfair of me to say I'm looking forward to the death [of] @genesimmons or nah? Chuck Berry shits on Kiss."

In the interview, Simmons' argument was that hip-hop would go away "next year, 10 years from now, at some point, and then something else will come along. And all that is good and healthy." He later tweeted:

Apparently pointing out that everything is cyclical - even music - is "controversial". People are very easily offended.
